Biomorphic: The Woodworking artistry of Tim Byrns
Through February 28, 2010 in the Fesler Gallery
Sponsored by: King
Properties
Funded in part by the
Jane S. Smith Fund of the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation and the
generous donors of the Depot Foundation
Tim Byrns is a Duluth Artist/Craftsman who works in wood
to produce freeform sculptures that evoke the natural forms that he is familiar
with as a professional Biologist. Byrns uses regional wood that is either
found, reclaimed, or harvested using sustainable methods. The themes in
the work are rooted in the natural world, as the artist strives to communicate
through the suggested movement of each sculpture.
"I attempt to preserve the spirit of the wood and
its environment, while conveying a renewed sense of movement and life,"
says Byrns.

Interwoven: New Work by Wanda Pearcy
Through February 7, 2010, George Morrison Gallery
Artist Dialogue, Thursday, December 17, 6 - 7 pm
In this body of work Duluth Artist Wanda Pearcy explores
music, dance, ritual, and play by using the medium of photography to record
time and movement. In a series of photographs that document her
interaction with the landscape and the artifacts of previous human habitation,
Wanda choreographs a lyrical narrative that is at once sensual, haunting, and
powerful. Wanda teaches in the Photo Area at the University of Minnesota,
Duluth.
"The representation of internal space--the
psyche, desire, and sacredness--is what I am most interested in as I
explore disrupted reality, displacement of time, and the union of body and
landscape," says Pearcy.
